Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

Lightning crackled on the dragon's claw as it rammed head-on into two intersecting ice blades.

"boom!"

The collision of ice and lightning produced a deafening roar.

The arena floor cracked inch by inch, and the shape memory alloy's self-repair speed couldn't even keep up with the rate of destruction.

Ice shards and lightning streaked across the sky, the blinding light causing everyone to instinctively close their eyes.

When the light faded

On the arena, Yu Tianheng knelt on one knee, his dragon claws covered with a thick layer of frost.

Beneath the frost, dragon scales shattered, and blood dripped from between their fingers.

He had already shattered those two ice wing slashes head-on.

He blocked it.

But

"Cough cough..." Yu Tianheng coughed up a mouthful of blood froth mixed with ice shards and slowly raised his head.

His face was pale, but his eyes burned with an even more intense fighting spirit.

The Dragon's Fury state can only last for thirty seconds. That attack just now had consumed nearly half of his soul power, but being able to shatter Snow White's first soul skill head-on gave him hope.

At least, the opponent is not completely invincible.

Below the arena, Dugu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes filled with pride as she looked at Yu Tianheng.

The graphite and stone mill brothers nodded slightly.

Being able to withstand attacks of this level, Yu Tianheng truly deserves the title of direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan.

Ning Rongrong nervously gripped the notebook tightly, her palms sweating profusely.

Only Ye Lingling's cold eyes flashed with a strange light.

She was watching Snow White.

The girl, who had been suspended in mid-air and maintained an elegant posture throughout, still had no expression on her face.

It was as if what had just been shattered was not her soul skill, but an insignificant mirror.

"You are very strong."

Snow White spoke softly, her voice exceptionally clear in the silent arena.

"But that's not enough."

The moment she finished speaking, the icy wings on her back unfurled once more.

This time, it's not just about flying.

She began to dance in the air.

It was an elegant dance that defied description; every movement was perfectly natural, as if the dancers were one with the icy world.

As she danced, the temperature above the arena dropped sharply.

Tiny ice crystals began to condense and swirl around her, eventually transforming into countless sharp ice feathers.

These ice feathers traced mysterious paths in the air, gradually forming an ever-growing ice and snow tornado.

At the eye of the tornado was the image of Snow White dancing gracefully.

"Second Soul Skill, Swan Dance Spinning Ice."

Her cold voice was like the pronouncement of an ice goddess.

Yu Tianheng's expression changed drastically.

He could clearly sense the terrifying energy contained within that ice and snow tornado.

Chapter 259 Resisting the Ice Ring

This is no longer a simple attack skill, but a powerful weapon that perfectly combines cutting, freezing, and area coverage.

We can't let it fully take shape!

"Roar!"

Yu Tianheng roared to the sky, forcibly suppressing the injuries and coldness in his body, and poured all the soul power in the Dragon's Fury state into his claws.

The deep blue phantom of the thunder dragon became even more solid, almost turning into a physical entity.

"Take this final blow!"

He slammed his feet into the ground and shot into the sky like a cannonball, aiming straight for Snow White at the center of the tornado.

This strike embodied all his strength and will.

If he wins, he might still have a sliver of a chance.

If we lose...

"Commendable courage."

Snow White's voice came from within the tornado, still calm.

Faced with Yu Tianheng's desperate attack, she finally unleashed her full martial spirit.

The illusory image of the snow swan solidified completely behind her, its elegant neck held high, and the ice crystal crown on its head radiating a dazzling light.

The fourth spirit ring beneath his feet lit up.

It was not an attack.

It's not a defense either.

Instead, it was a spreading, icy blue halo.

The halo spread out calmly, its movement slow and steady. Wherever it passed, the air froze, the lightning solidified, and even time seemed to slow down.

Yu Tianheng's soaring figure seemed to crash into an invisible wall the moment it touched the halo.

"boom!"

He was sent flying backward, his Dragon's Fury state was forcibly interrupted, and the phantom of the thunder dragon around him shattered inch by inch.

Even more terrifying, an irresistible force of ice surged into his body, frantically freezing his meridians and soul power.

"What...what is this?"

Yu Tianheng crashed heavily onto the ring, his entire body covered in frost, making it difficult for him to even move a finger.

He stared in disbelief at the icy blue halo that was spreading outwards.

It wasn't a direct attack, yet it was more terrifying than any other attack.

"Fourth Soul Skill: Resist Ice Ring".

Snow White's figure emerged from the dissipating snow tornado.

She hovered in mid-air, her icy wings fluttering gently, scattering specks of ice crystals.

"Freeze, and knockback."

She explained calmly, as if she were talking about something perfectly ordinary.

Below the ring, there was a deathly silence.

Everyone looked at Yu Tianheng, who was kneeling on one knee on the arena and covered in frost, and then at Snow White, who was floating in mid-air and was spotless.

gap.

A world of difference.

From beginning to end, Snow White never really went all out. She simply floated in the air and easily released her soul skills, completely suppressing Yu Tianheng, who was going all out.

Especially the last one, the Ice Resistance Ring, that's not a Soul Skill effect that a Soul Master should have.

To be able to forcibly interrupt Yu Tianheng's soul skill and freeze and repel him when he was at level 39 and in the Dragon's Fury state, requires an incredibly terrifying level of control over soul power.

"I... lost."

Yu Tianheng spoke with difficulty, his voice trembling from the cold.

He looked up at Snow White, his eyes filled with no resentment, only deep shock and a sense of relief.

"I am completely convinced."

He spoke those four words with utmost solemnity.

At the edge of the arena, the three education commissioners, Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhilin, who had arrived at some unknown time, all had different expressions.

Meng Shenji's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he muttered to himself, "Resisting the Ice Ring... the grade of this soul skill is probably close to 3 years old. Her Highness's ability to withstand the soul ring far exceeds our imagination."

Bai Baoshan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "A twelve-year-old Soul Master, a fourth-level Soul Master of ten thousand years, and with such terrifying combat abilities... In all my years of teaching, I have never seen such a monster."

Zhilin stared intently at Snow White, as if he were looking at a peerless, uncarved gem.

On the arena, Snow White slowly descended.

She walked up to Yu Tianheng and extended her hand.

A gentle surge of icy soul power flowed into Yu Tianheng's body, slowly dispelling the chill within him.

“You are very strong,” she said calmly. “It’s just that my soul ring age and soul power level are superior. If we were of the same level, the outcome would be unpredictable.”

This is a fact, and it also gives Yu Tianheng a way out.

Feeling the warmth gradually returning to his body, Yu Tianheng shook his head with a wry smile: "Captain, there's no need to comfort me. Defeat is defeat, and the gap is the gap. I, Yu Tianheng, am not someone who can't accept defeat."

He stood up with Snow White's help, took a deep breath, and turned to face all the team members below the ring.

"From this day forward, I, Yu Tianheng, will completely obey the leadership of Captain Snow White!"

His voice was strong and resolute, carrying an unquestionable determination.

Below the arena, Dugu Yan pursed her lips and finally bowed her head to Snow White.

She admitted it.

This battle completely shattered the last shred of defiance in her heart.
